Been there... Without project for a year+ a few years ago. I had the same concerns you're having now.

Being there is soul-sucking, I know, but you have to be proactive and ask for projects to keep showing that you're willing to work, and that you're flexible.

Meanwhile, from my experience my suggestion is: dedicate yourself to opensource. Try to bring some value to your name and maybe company's name if it fits their goal. This can also lead you to new projects.

And the most important advice is: Doesn't matter if you decide to leave or to stay, DO NOT SPEND TIME DOING NOTHING.

That last sentence is definitely good advice!

Working on open source during the time is a great idea, but make sure you clear it with your employer first. By default, they would have copyright claim on work you do during time and with facilities they are paying for.
